Pangolin Education Program

Alongside the pangolin art awareness campaign running alongside One More Generation I have been developing a 4 hour education plan to make the final art installation more meaningful and is specifically for use in range countries. The idea is that it covers the topics of biology/ecology, maths, literacy and art, the resources are provided for local NGOs to adapt the program as they feel would suit the area they work in and are free to implement it.

An outline of the lessons objectives and activities are outlined below and all the resources are prepared reading for printing. There is a detailed plan available of how the each lesson runs.
